I WILL THROW SPACE MOLOTOVS AT THAT EQUESTRIAN MONSTROSITY
AAAAH, MOTHERLAND !

http://www.eveandersson.com/pi/digits/1000000
Okay, since i won the 'which has the longest' contest, could we please get back on topic ?
for example, what do you think could be a good orbit diameter/body diameter for the Mün (since it can not be like his real-life equivalent) ?
i'm asking this question mostly because the Mün prototype has roughtly the size of a very small asteroid, so, yeah.
(also trying to put the Mün in orbit, and make it crash onto the KSP lauch center, shit's hard bro.)
-
It flies pretty well. I've had some experience with large spaceplanes before. Theres plenty of pics of it flying and a video of it deploying the small ships
The finished product is... a monstruosity.
And by monstruosity i mean DO WANT !
-
It looks like a moon, It orbits a planet like a moon, Its a moon
You.
Out.

Plus long vol? 1h30 environ, peut-être 2 heures. a 12 minutes j'étais à 10 km/s en ascendant et a quelque 200 km d'altitude, puis j'ai largué les moteurs de décollage, me suis retourné et ai laissé mon moteur a ion me décélérer pour le retour (mon but étant d'atteindre 100 000 km, puis de revenir et d'entrer en atmosphère avec une vitesse de 10 km/s). C'était un presque succès: le 'presque' étant une marge d'erreur de poussée de 2%; la fusée n'était pas perpendiculaire à la surface et ca m'a donné un drift latéral qui m'a fait raté Kearth de 2000 km. Comme j'avais une vitesse de 10 km/s (qui devenait maintenant une vitesse qui m'éloignait), je n'ai pas eu assez de carburant pour revenir et ai dù abandonner cette mission.
Même en réalignant progressivement ta trajectoire ?
-
Tout pareil, de France métropolitaine,
pour ce qui est du vol le plus long, hmmm, toute une nuit, après, j'ai l'aissé tomber.
je suis plus interessé par tout ce qui est manoeuvres en LEO, tenter de faire l'orbite la plus excentrique possible, amener le maximum de charge utile en orbite stable, et tout ce qui est rentrée atmosphérique, avec parachute, rétrofusées, ou lithofreinage (ergo : voir la vitesse maximum que je peux atteindre avant d'impacter le sol.).
et puis il y à bien sur les grands projets persos :
En ce moment, je suis sur la conception d'un chasseur multirole longue portée air/espace (faut encore que je trouve une dénomination correcte, et un nom, bien sur.),
grosso merdo, le chasseur en lui même, c'est (dans le désordre) :
3 réacteurs+liquides (dont 1 NERVA), un coupleur triple plat, un module RCS, tout ce qu'il faut en ailerons, un module SAS, un découpleur, et la partie éjection d'urgence : parachute, module, micro réacteur (la dernière version de sunday punch)
et ça, c'est juste le chasseur, après faut ajouter l'étage de navigation spatiale, l'étage de rentrée atmosphérique, et bien sur, les étages de mise en orbite.
(ouais, je m'amuse)
à noter qu'en enlevant le chasseur et en remplacant par le module du projet leapfrog, TADAAAA, programme Apollo débloqué.)

New part online:
Check the first post
it's even more badass than that i expected.
-
hmm, simple design and nice maneuverability, does the RCS really help ? haven't used it yet.
also planning to make a air/space superiority fighter (which will also act as a attack craft.), cool to see some other models.
-
Nuts! Get your hot salty peanuts here! Is that a...
-pecker !
-where ?
-wait, that's not a woodpecker, it looks like someone's...
-
AAAAH, MOTHERLAND !

Success! Total mission time of about 7hrs, 40mins. Many, many photos below:
That allowed me to plot my current orbit. Eccentric, but stable!
The new orbit. Pretty good!
So, is there a prize, or...?
+1 internet
very impressive, you have the guts of a true kerbanaut.
Also, what's the program you used in those pics ? (it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine !)
-
So sarcastically I said to Jeb, 'If you like explosions so much, why don't you just make a ship that runs off them?' and he got this real thoughtful look.
We tried a stack of nothing but stage decouplers but you can't fire them fast enough to build up any real speed. And the nuclear charges aren't due until next week
wait... WHAT ?
(seriously, i we ever got some kind of explosion drive, i'm gonna get all over it.)
-
Wait, seriously...
What the hell is this shiALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-PROBE.
:hailprobe:
-
very impressive in precision of execution and beautiful visually.
-
rumeurs, je m'avance grandement en disant ça,
et il y à quelques images, soit en test pré-alpha, soit du troll (trololololo).
-
*In French voice* this is awesome
-
Looks like this game...
*put on sunglasses* 8)
Is starting to get off the ground pretty fast.

Negative, we don't want something as clunky as Orion. We want a nuclear salt-water rocket. Similar concept of 'propelled by nuclear detonation' but aq high-end NSWR is propelled by a continuous, focused nuclear detonation.
oh come on, at least 200,000 tons of payload on one ship, with speed up to 0.1c and riding on nuclear blast ? Orion concept is fucking awesome.
NSWR is cool through, along with Project Daedalus.
-
Présent ! J'ai commencé ce weekend et... Je suis parti me coucher après avoir ajusté la vitesse de ma capsule par rapport à son orbite.
Lundi improductif au boulot à venir.
et encore, imagine quand le multi va étre implanté
RKV's, RKV's EVERYWHERE ! ;D
-
ah damn, so long for the big boom...
-
Hey,
my first attempt to create parts for KSP. Okay, nothing special, I just modified some stock parts for my needs.
Modified decoupler:
your decoupler is gorgeous,
do you think it's possible to make one visually like yours (covering the whole engine), but instead of just dropping along the jettisoned part, it 'explodes' into 3 smaller bits which fall away, just before the jettisoning part (allowing the rocket engine to show up still attached to the lower part of the rocket) ?
-
i hope the dev will implement varied sizes for explosions, it could go from :
- small (what we have now in effects) : explosion made by rocket engines, empty to half-empty small fuel tanks, empty boosters and empty big fuel tanks.
- 3x more powerful (but same visual effects) : half empty to full small fuel tanks and boosters.
- 6 to 8x more powerful (again, same visual effects) : half-empty to full 'big' fuel tanks.
and finally :
- nuclear engines : if they suffer explosion from overheating or by being damaged by a nearby explosion (also by lithobraking ? might be overkill), first is a short but bright flash, followed in atmosphere by a HUGE expanding mushroom cloud, and out atmosphere (30-40km) by an expanding and fading sphere of white-to-pale-blue plasma.
but yeah, one can dream... ;D
-
We need more landing options, it'd be nice if we had those inflatable cushions they used for martian rovers.
Damn yes, instant buy if i can do something close to what happens after 2:10 in this video :
(will probably buy it anyway.)

Y-a t-il des Francophones jouant à KSP ?

for a safe landing on Kearth, simply go FULL BURN! (without throttling up, just full burn) at 600 meters, you should decelerate enough to get to 6-8m/s at 60m, just throttle down after that and you should land safely without any bumps, and with some fuel remaining.
only problem is that the descent module isn't protected againt the exhaust of the ascent module, so it just go boom when ignition.
